How to watch Harris and Trump in presidential debate Tuesday

 

I am already feeling the cringe from this debate and it hasn't even started.   It's tonight.

I kind of have a feeling of dread -- like when your college's football team is about to get humiliated.    And I have this feeling about both Harris and Trump.   Would have been fun to have 3rd party candidate involved --- not sure who.

We played presidential debate bingo during the last one.

I was very disappointed that Trump didn't use some of his catchphrases. Compared to 2016 he was very tame. Racist but tame. It cost me a win.

Biden was much more aggressive, calling him a whiner and a loser. Yet he couldn't keep a train of thought going.

I don't know what to expect with this one. Harris for whatever reason sounds drunk to me when she talks, and laughing off difficult questions doesn't help her. She also should, but probably won't, apologize for jailing so many non-violent drug offenders as attorney general, and for keeping inmates imprisoned longer than their sentence to fight fires.

With Trump I expect a return to nastiness. He likes to tear down women in particular. He will give voice to the bigotry, xenophobia and racism in this country and his supporters will gobble that shit up.

Good summary of what I expect as well.

I think he will say "she is a very nasty woman" a few times.

Harris will cause Trump to melt down by her mere presence.  The audacity of a woman of color daring to argue with him will leave him unhinged.  
 

Will the electorate care?   Well, undecided voters are by definition complete morons, so who the fuck knows. 
 

And Harris shouldn’t apologize for shit.  Trump should apologize for being a rapist, fraudster, insurrectionist and misogynist, but that would probably just lose him votes among the absolute mongrels who support him.

LOL Typical partisan. Your candidate did nothing wrong because the other guy is worse. Really?

No. She should apologize if she has any morals whatsoever. I doubt she will.

Saying she did things “wrong” and saying she should apologize are two different things.  As a prosecutor she swore to enforce laws, and did.  She also did a helluva lot of progressive prosecutor shit at a time where it was decades away from being cool in the wake of George Floyd.

Harris' record as AG was enough to sink her 2020 campaign. I don't think she has reckoned with it other than to brush it off.

In a Democratic primary. 

In a general, being "tough on crime" is more of a positive, and compared to some of Trumps proposals her prosecution was lenient and should not be an issue.

If she apologizes for being AG or DA, she’ll gain zero far-left supporters, and alienate all the independents/swing voters.  
 

I’m all for progressive prosecution and getting rid of the incarceral state entirely.   But just try and remember what country we live in.

Despite a few dings in Harris' past - The difference between the two is so stark, obvious and overwhelming for the future of the country it's amazing that polling has this race at 0-3% ---- Proof that the average American voter is clueless or just fvcking stupid
